Flight One DC9 Autothrottle?

Featured Replies

I know this is below the dignity of many, but I still have many carry over birds from past FS versions that I love to fly. Some work only in FS9 (Particular favorites, the Dreamfleet Baron and Flight One 727). Others work only in FSX, while some work in both from scratch, and others do with modifications. I fly all of them periodically along with the newer products.

 

One really old contribution among several that I still occasionally find pleasure in flying is the Flight One McDonnell Douglas DC9. This aircraft has autothrottle control that is initiated on the throttle quadrant, but speed settings are set in the Radio Stack panel. A limiting factor is that the settings provisions are only for MACH speed and the minimum setting is 0.50. Unfortunately, this speed is too fast for altitudes below 10,000 ft. MS without being verbally spanked by ATR.  Does anyone know of a line item anywhere in the configuration files to reduce this minimum setting? No biggie as autothrottle can be turned off and speed controlled by manual throttle settings, but it would be nice for long approach and holding patterns to be able to let the autopilot control the speed. I have looked at the aircraft.cfg file and am overlooking such a setting if it is there.
